CHINESE MUSIC: * EMI Yao Lee (Pathé 100 : the series) (China,40s,re.2005)°°’ Tr.15, “Chinese title ?” 3 min -6 When taking out the best crossover tracks, the scene becomes interesting for western listeners/collectors too. Most of the time I personally don’t find most of the tracks of this more naive voice very rewarding. Info on http://www.psychemusic.org/SHANGHAI-HONGKONG.html * ??? ??? vol.22 (Shanghia Lounge Diva's)(China,40s)*° Tr.16, “Chinese title ?” 3 min -9 Often with good arrangements. The strong, lower voice songs sounds a bit like the Marlene Dietrich from China. Most songs sound however rather dated when not involved too much into this cultural heritage. Info on http://www.psychemusic.org/SHANGHAI-HONGKONG.html * Subl.Freq. V.A. : Singapore A-Go-Go (SING,1960s)**°° Tr.1, Grace Lee and The Stylers : “Each and every Flower” 3 min Tr.5, Lim Ling and The Silverstones : “Love is like dew and flowers” 3 min Tr.6, Lena Lim and the Stylers : “Luna,Luna” 4 min Tr.7, Chew Yan and The Stylers : “Mimi Cat” 3 min Tr.8, Charlie Electric Band’s Sound of Japan : “Tough Time Missing You” 3 min 16 -25 Singapore takes the Chinese Music one step further into interesting Music arrangements. I took out some of the more outstanding songs.. Review : http://www.psychemusic.org/singapore.html#anchor_89 * QDK Media V.A. : Asian Takeaways (HK/SKO/MAL/SING,60’s-‘70s)***°' Tr.1, Jing Ting : “The Joke” (Hong Kong) 1 min Tr.12, Thu Su Yung : “You can be anything in life” (Hong Kong) 4 min 5 -30 Great and enjoyable compilation. Review : http://www.psychemusic.org/HONGKONG.html#anchor_78 * Thrift Score V.A. : Teen Dance Music from China and Malaysia (60s)***° Tr.15, The Sylverstones : “The Breeze and I” 4 min -34 I personally loved the Stylers and Silverstones better from their earlier Shadows inspired period. A small example. Review : http://www.psychemusic.org/HONGKONG.html#anchor_65 Personally I also thing Mandarine is a bit contradictory to the Music they played/sang. Perhaps one of the reasons these Chinese Music scenes didn’t last too long. 2. MORE WORLD GROOVES: * Normal V.A. : The Bombay Connection vol.1 Funk from Bollywood Action Thrillers 1977-1984 (IND,re.2007?)****° Tr.3, Sapan-Jagmohan : “Giraffe Trapping Music” (from “Habari” ‘78) 3 min Tr.5, R.D.Burman : Music (from “Salaam Memsaab”,’78) 3 min Tr.8, Kalyanji-Anandji : Music theme (from “Kashish”,’80) 3 min 9 -43 Funky and groovy crossovers. More compilations are expected in 2010. Some must-have (heard) tracks on this one, if you ask me. Great professional compilation! Review : http://psychefolk.com/bollywood.html#anchor_112 * World Psych Funk Classics V.A. : Psych Funk 101 (VAR,1967-1980/comp.2009)**°°' Review : http://www.psychemusic.org/70s.html#anchor_318 * Persiabba The Golden Ring : Iranian styled 60's garage and other exotic sounds: complete recordings (IR,1960s->1970s,pub.2009)*°°° Tr.A1,(acdr10) “Longhair Woman” 3 min Tr.A5,(15)“Hey Girls” 4 min 7 -50 One single is missing, two songs sound warped and sound quality could have been better, but this is the best collection you can find from the band, one of the Iranian beat bands. Notice the Shadows guitars on “Hey Girls”. Review : http://www.psychemusic.org/GoldenRing.html#anchor_137 * Weltraum V.A. : Eastern Standard Time (PK,IND,JAP,LEB,US,TÜ,EG,comp.2009)***°’ A1(=acdr1) Layale Bourg El Hamam: “Azef El Leyl” 3 min A3(=4) Baligh Hamdy : “Gada” 3 min A4(=5) The Sheiks Men : “The Belly Dancer” 3 min A5(=6) Terauchi Takeshi & His Blue Jeans : “Edo Komoriuta” 3 min B7(=16) S. Hazarasingh : “Aa Jane Jaan” 4 min B8 (17) Charanjit Singh : “Jaaneman Jaaneman” 6 min 22 -72 Some Middle Eastern surf guitars on belly dance inspirations.. Review : http://www.psychemusic.org/EasternStandardTime.html#anchor_200 * Eliyahu Sills Eliyahu & The Quadim Ensemble : Eastern Wind (US,2009)*** Too traditional for this show but I’d like to mention this traditional ciompilation. Review : http://www.psychemusic.org/Eliyahu.html#anchor_228 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PART 2 : 1. 60S (OLD & NEW): * Gear Fab V.A. : Psychedelic States : Missisippi in the 60s (US,1964-1969)**°’ Tr.13, Flower Power : “Mt.Olympus” 4 min -78 Psych ballad with wild and freaky elements, from this new 60s compilation. A shame from the bad condition of this recording. Review : http://www.psychemusic.org/progressive2.html#anchor_150 * Way Back The Nomadds : Nomadds Originals plus (US,1965,re.2009)**°’ Tr.8, “Don’t cheat on me” 3 min -81 60s collectors very much love this rather soft 60s MOD sound of this band. But there are also earlier influences of the rock’n roll area. Review : http://www.psychemusic.org/sixties5.html#anchor_324 * Bartide Laminated Cat : Umbrella Weather (US,2009)**°° Tr.1, “Sweet Sixteen” 4 min -85 Nice retro 60s sound on this strong First track. (Should rewrite the review) Review : http://www.psychemusic.org/sixties5.html#anchor_320 * Re De Wolff : Strange Fruit and Undiscovered Plants (NL,2009)*°°’ Tr.9, “Red Sparks of the morning dusk” 4 min - 89 (Tr.10,“Silver Lovemachine” 11 min) Retro teenage band with some stronger and professional, and sadly, some weaker tracks. Review : http://www.psychemusic.org/Holland.html#anchor_83 2. ROCK IN OPPSOTION / AVANT-PROG: * Ad Hoc Present : Barbaro (ma non troppo) -CD+DVD- (B,2009)***°' Tr.3, “Jack The Ripper” 17 min -106 New release by these Belgian R.I.O. masters. Classical composition into rock format. A fine composition. Review : http://www.psychemusic.org/belgium2.html#anchor_163 PS. Speaking about R.I.O. : you can watch or download the very good Art Zoyd version of Faust on http://www.archive.org/details/Faust_1926 (I also just watched http://www.archive.org/details/humanbondage from 1934 with early Betty Davis. A good one). * latron Uran : Meny (S,2009)***° Tr.1, “EMP” 3 min Tr.4, “Fatfucker” 3 min Tr.5, “Dogal Maar” 3 min 9 -115 Simple but effective heavy sequenced bass electropop (like the 80s German scene) on the first three tracks, then with extra spacey effects on the following ones. Review : http://www.psychemusic.org/sweden4.html#anchor_240 * Elektroharsch Phased : A Sort of Spasmic Phlegm Induced by Leaden Fumes of Pleasure (CH,2009)* Review : http://www.psychemusic.org/hard.html#anchor_374 OUTRO : * Bo'Weavil Decoy : vol.2 : The Deep -LP- (UK,2009)***’ Tr.5, “Hook Line” 2 min * Bo'Weavil Decoy : vol.1 : Spirit -CD- (UK,2009)***°’ Tr.1, “Outside in” 5 min (end show) Audio : http://www.boweavilrecordings.com/mp3s/outsidein.mp3 Jazz improvisations with Hammond organ, bass and drums. Special but it fits less with this show.. Vol 2 are more recognisable improvisations, vol 1 is more sound-experimental and strange/avant.
